this is a Dodge Ram that a gallon of white paint fell from the rear seat and the top came off, H/D admitted fault and agreed to foot the bill

wow that is impressive work. Did the client bring it in immediately or was the paint already dry?

If you read the post he got the paint from H/D. This means he was A) painting a room in his house and mean the paint it water base B) painting outside or driveway and mean not water base.

I am guessing it is a water base paint which would be able to be removed even if dry with plane water. Sure it take a while but it could be done.

BTW great work

The paint tech at H/D didn't close the paint lid tight enuf and when the customer opened the door the paint can fell off the seat, hit the floor, opened up and the rest you can see
Shawn is right, the paint was water based and yes it was dry except under the carpet where it pooled up.
1-was to remove all trim, seats and carpet
2-pressure wash carpet and mats and let dry
3-after carpet dry, shampoo and extract
4-clean all trim w/pressure washer and D+APC
5-shampoo and extract seats
6-wash entire cab floor, sills and door jambs with D+APC
7-clean electrical harness in sill and clean of excess paint
8-assemble interior
9-clean the rest of interior to match

as Shawn said it all came out but did take alot of time, like 7 hours, but H/D made it worth my time
thanks for the :dblthumb2: guys
